Subject: Great game, but not playable here

There are a few problems with this emulation:

• The original copy protection is in place, which causes the soldering iron not to function within the main game.

• It isn't possible to walk slowly (pixel by pixel) which is needed quite often in the game. This works by holding down SHIFT, and the game doesn't support AT keyboards like what DOSBox is emulating. This needs to be patched either in the game or in the emulator.

• No joystick support

• The game needs to launch via PLAY.EXE for the cutscenes and load/save and tutorial functionality to work.

• The aspect ratio is incorrect; this game runs in a mode with square pixels.

• Speed is way too fast by default, slowing down the cycle count helps.
